I read issue #32 of the Rat, infact I have read every issue of the Rat
beginning with the first one, and I must say, this new stuff is crap.

On page 11 of this issue, you have a headline: Dudes Up to Old Tricks, and
it goes on from there.  This is a good article section thingie and you
should have more of that kind of stuff in your newsletter.  

I publish a zine, and I hate it when people tell me what to print, so
believe me, I don't mean to sound  like I'm lecturing or anything, but the
stuff in the earlier editions was good stuff...informative, and
entertaining.  You wrote with a cynical sarcasm, and it was great to read.
 I always respected the fact that the Rat, unlike most other conspiracy
publications, from what I could tell, had standards.  Today however, you
talk about Big Mac's in other countries: I don't care about that.  I want
to hear about Area 51.

Have you given up?

You used to climb Freedom Ridge, and chart land censors, and publish radio
frequencies, but ever since they closed Freedom Ridge you've been talking
about Jarod this and Jarod that and Hungary this and Hungarian that.

There are pleanty of other aspects of the base.  How about the toxic waste
lawsuit?  How about Clinton's presidential exemption?  You could at least
discuss these things a little.

In an earlier letter you mentioned that readership has increaced since the
UFO stuff.  However, I remind you now, as I did a while ago that the
National Inquirer outsells the New York Times in readership and all that,
but when it comes to CONTENT, the New York Times wins every time.

Oh well :(
